This is the case for most bibliography styles: journal articles only
get capitals for the first letter, proper nouns, chemical symbols,
etc.;
Book Titles get Capital Letters for Most Words.
This is controlled by the "bst" style you use. If you look into the
directory
$CONTEXT/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bst/context/
you'll find a number of them. They contain
FUNCTION {do.t.out}
{ duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ pop$ write$}
{ "{" swap$ "t" change.case$ * "}" * * write$ pop$ newline$ }
if$
}
this is the function that changes uppercase to lowercase (I have no
idea why this was ever considered a good thing, but scientists, as
opposed to scholars in the humanities, can be very strange people).
Further on, you'll find that this function is used in e.g.
FUNCTION {format.arttitle}
{ "" "\arttitle" title do.t.out }
if you change this to
FUNCTION {format.arttitle}
{ "" "\arttitle" title do.out }
the case will not be changed. And: this is something I found out by
sheer bloody-mindedness, I don't have the faintest idea about bst-
syntax, and from what I hear, most people think it's a bloody mess. So
use at your own risk...
